Point me out a pepper (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pimento

'a pepper' is the definition.
(pimiento is a type of pepper)

'point me out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'point'+'me'='pointme'
'pointme' with letters rearranged gives 'PIMENTO'.

(Other definitions for pimento that I've seen before include "Type of pepper" , "Jamaica pepper" , "Plant" , "Allspice - top mine (anag)" , "Something spicy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
